NORINCO Type 97 FTU

NORINOCO Type 97 FTU 5.56

The T97 is a semi-automatic, magazine fed, gas operated bullpup. It is the civilian version of the QBZ-95, the standard issue rifle for the Peoples Liberation Army. The bullpup design allows it to retain an 18.6″ barrel length in a relatively compact package, allowing for better maneuverability in tight spaces and less fatigue to the shooter without sacrificing velocity and reach.

The FTU (Flat Top Upper) version of the T97 comes complete with a full CNC machined, MIL-STD 1913 Picatinny rail for mounting optics and accessories and a larger non-reciprocating side charging handle for more positive manipulation. It takes standard AR magazines and is encased in a parkerized polymer chassis.
